Summary of duties: mechanical design, equipment introduction, material

qualification, process improvement, standards writing, and cost reduction.

Summary of roles: hands-on engineer, manager of engineers, team leader,

author, and council member.

Packing and Media Manager (Materials Engineering), Test Technology

Development group, (1996 - 1998)

. Led an engineering group responsible for the development and

qualification of innovative products for part-protection media,

including inflatable and thermoformed over-packs, for advanced IC

packages.

. Coordinated a team for selection of shipping media (e.g., carrier

tapes and matrix trays for QFP and BGA packages), to realize savings

from worldwide volume usage.

. Developed schedules, budgets and technology roadmaps for the P&M

group.

Back-End Equipment Engineering Group, Section Leader, (1994 - 1996)

. Managed the development of new types of equipment to mark and inspect

IC packages, to straighten the leads, and then to pack for shipment

in tape-and-reel (TAR).
